the amount of aid the u.s. pays to egypt every year is only second to the amount of aid we give israel. so we are doing it again and again not only in afghanistan but elsewhere. it seems the system is so corrupt beyond repair. this current administration is not doing anything about the muslim brotherhood. in a way they are supporting their efforts to control egypt. egypt needs to be the biggest -- used to be the biggest u.s. ally in the middle east. the mubarak regime fell in about 30 days with no support from the u.s. whatsoever. absolutely no support. he was an ally 30 years. and we just let the regime does appear. we are finding their enemy, who happens to be also an u.s. enemy. the muslim brotherhood's highest eadership has announced it's opposition to the u.s. on many occasions. i'm not sure why this administration is not doing anything about it or why the media is not bringing this to the attention of the american citizens. guest: i confess, i don't have anything to add to what your caller said. it is a p

however, the u.s. has found some armed groups that are, again, more moderate in their pronouncements and those may be the ones we ultimately are working with. host: you mentioned mustard gas. here is another comment from our viewer. guest: this is a very important question and there is credibility issues and skepticism given what happens with the weapons of mass destruction and the intelligence failure there. i think we are in a different situation in syria. this is hard intelligence. we are not talking about nukes, but it's important to remember the date used mustard gas and other agents against the kurdish people, so there is a precedence. host: you lived in syria under assaad's father. what was it like? guest: fear permeated the environment. it is known as a state in which the intelligence agencies permeated just about every aspect of people's daily lives. it was a situation and in which people were frightened to even mention the word politics let alone engage in politics. host: why did you decide t

my concern is whether the u.s. has priorities of where to begin and where we would end. what we have seen in the past couple of years is no funding from the federal government. we really comment in some kind of dream of going, some of the state's will continue to move forward because even in the best circumstances as we approach the cliff, in not going over there will be very significant reductions in every kind of program made. that is the case. i need to hear the case for why we would prioritize at least one of the places you have funded that looks like it is ready to go and go with it. if you do not do that, you must have some view that some miracle is going to happen in the economy so at least the public sector will continue funding. i cannot see that. if it is not the case that we can expect public funding for all parts of the country and in next five years. let's take the near term. what do you think is the best way to proceed with what scarce funds you may recede? -- receive? we know this. if you start, we try to look for ways to finish that. every year that we fa

one of the ways that u.s. has reduced its emissions is through switching from coal to gas, and that was government innovation 30 years ago developing some tracking -- fracking technology that no one saw a few years ago, and -- that proponents would say that that switch is a good thing, it's reduced carbon emissions more than kyoto or anything else has been technology innovation and markets. >> there are two different things though. the gas -- yes, if gas were treated as the transition fuel allowing us to leave the coal in the ground and be working on the successor to gas so that that's all we burn, then we could actually meet the targets. but that's not what's happening its exactly -- they're actually going after every fuel they can find. it's fracking -- in addition to tar sands, in addition to drilling in the arctic, in addition to mountain top removal, and in addition to tar shale, that's why they say, united states is gonna be the saudi arabia of oil. how is that? we're gonna cook the rockey mountains and
